Expectations

There was a time when I couldn't Stop loving you so much Haven't seen that me in so long Forgot I shouldn't care I sang, "Dum, di-di," who I used to be Is not who I am, look at me These dreams of mine do not need your advice or cheap blessing My crown you couldn't lift And you want me to act a certain way I'm no one's toy no more, it hurts them to know They can't control me each day Enjoy the pain I don't need your expectations Made the bricks to pave my way Fuck that Grammy nomination Happiness cannot be bought One summer day, we just might meet up again "Hey, look at you sitting here all on your own" Lost in your expectations I can't help you with that I can't ever hate you But had to let you go Changing myself for your ego And selfish, your pride stops there I sang, "Karate," who I used to be Is not who I am, look at me These dreams of mine do not need your advice or cheap blessing My crown you couldn't lift You want me to act a certain way (ah) I'm no one's toy no more, it hurts them to know They can't control me each day Enjoy the pain I don't need your expectations Made the bricks to pave my way Fuck that Grammy nomination Happiness cannot be bought One summer day, we just might meet up again "Hey, look at you sitting here all on your own" Lost in your expectations I can't help you with that I can't lie, say it was easy, each day alone filled me with fear But here I stand tall, my face to the crowd I don't need your expectations Made the bricks to pave my way Fuck that Grammy nomination Happiness cannot be bought One summer day, we just might just meet up again "Hey, look at you sitting here all on your own" Lost in your expectations I can't help you with that
